Strengths: Low rolling resistance, good hardpack tireWeaknesses: Low durability over rock. Rubber tread is too hard and rocks rips tread right down to inner core, and sealant pours out (cannot be repaired and tube is needed).Bottom Line: This would be a great tire on hardpack terrain that isn't rocky (dirt or jeep roads, Pacific NW trails, etc). Central Texas has a lot of rock outcrops which ended up being too much for this tire after only 2 months. This would be a better tire if the rubber was softer and flex over rocks. They tried to make the tire more durable by hardening the rubber, and it had the opposite effect. Prior to the Cobra, I used the Python Tubeless Ready, which was surpringly durable for a race tire.

Strengths: Very fast tires that grip the dry, compact dirt quite well. I was speeding up the mountain while my riding buddy kept slipping and sliding all over. Lightweight. Excellent front wheel tire.Weaknesses: Don't know how long the "stickiness" will last.Bottom Line: Pretty much the perfect tire for dry, hard conditions. Awesome grip and speed!
Favorite Trail: Too Many
